Judge West SHOCKS Everyone: $1M Murder Bond Cut to $750K — GPS House Arrest Ordered

Описание: Judge West SHOCKS the courtroom by cutting a $1,000,000 murder bond—but slaps on GPS house confinement as the price of freedom.

In this Jefferson County, Texas bond hearing, Nerbert Freo Jr. faces a murder charge as the defense files a habeas corpus request to reduce bail. His wife takes the stand, laying out deep community ties, character letters, and a harsh reality: even getting a bondsman would cost $100,000 they don’t have—and reported income is shockingly low. When the defense tries to summarize video evidence to argue “actual innocence,” Judge West shuts it down as improper for a bond hearing, then delivers a decision that still moves the case forward.

🔷 Case Highlights

Charge: Murder (offense date January 18, 2025) — bond initially set at $1,000,000

Wife testifies about family support, ties to Jefferson County, and inability to pay a bondsman’s $100,000 fee

Defense attempts to push an “actual innocence” narrative; Judge West sustains the objection and keeps it within bond-hearing limits

Ruling: Bond reduced to $750,000 with GPS monitoring + house confinement as a condition if posted

This is the courtroom reality people don’t talk about enough: bond isn’t just a number—it’s leverage, risk management, and public safety all colliding in real time. Judge West balances community protection with the facts presented, reminding everyone that a bond hearing isn’t a full trial, but the decision can still change everything for what comes next.
